A motor vehicle of poor quality, that is valued at or bellow $1000 and is driven on the annual "Shitbox Rally" through extremely remote and isolated areas of the Australian outback. The idea being that each team, of which there are 250, needs to find a Shitbox and prepare it for the Shitbox rally without spending more than $1000 on it.
Teams are also required to raise money for the Cancer Council. Since its inception in 2010, the Shitbox rally has grown to become the single largest fund raising event for the Cancer Council. The rally now raises in excess of $1,000,000 annually for the Cancer Council.
The people that take part in the Shitbox rally often refer to themselves as "Shitboxers".
Teams travel to Australia from all over the world to take part in the Shitbox Rally.

If your Shitbox dies on the rally, it is going in a hole... and your rally is over!

Can either be a beat up rusty old pick up truck of 2X4 or 4x4 suspension; or if you are in the military of your country it is the locker/footlocker you store your "shit", i.e. personal kit in...

eg. 1 There is a shitbox pickup truck contest on at the exhibition grounds in three weeks!!!
eg. 2 Shake out your shitboxes, and line up the contents on your bunks, plugs! Inspection in twenty six mike! the Sergeant shouted, booming....
